If we’re going to actually make life more affordable, our tax code needs to even the playing field for hardworking Americans. As the chair of the @usprogressives.bsky.social Ending Corporate Greed Task Force, I was proud to host this hearing today to lay out our vision for the future.

To all the Vermonters who’ve told me how expensive your life has gotten - I hear you. Now that I’m back in DC, I’m ready to get back to work lowering costs. We just need willing partners in the Republican majority.

I’m glad to see California is taking Amazon to task for price fixing. At a time when American families are struggling to afford the basics, no company should be able to wield so much power that they shape the market like this. We need an economy that works for all of us.

People told us we were being alarmist when we said Republicans would come after our reproductive rights - overturning Roe v. Wade, allowing women to bleed out in their cars, arresting people for miscarriages, attacking contraception. But we’ve been right every single time.

Last week, the criminal charges brought by the Trump admin against Kilmar Abrego Garcia were dismissed by a federal judge because of their “vindictiveness.” The Trump admin is hoping we forget about these cases. But we have to stay vigilant and stay loud.

We must do all we can to keep this admin from continuing their horrific treatment of women, children, and families with our tax dollars. They want us to lose our humanity — to believe that some are more worthy of basic dignity than others. We can't let that happen.

Just like with everything else, the Trump administration is grifting off the American people through their war in Iran.   Democrats in Congress will continue to demand answers and get these people on the record.

It’s not just Trump who’s responsible for all this mess - it’s his enablers too. At the most recent cabinet meeting, they went around and fell over themselves to fawn over this flawed man. It was honestly disgusting and resembled authoritarian countries around the world and throughout history.

I just read a disturbing article from @propublica.org. A woman in Arkansas was facing a miscarriage and was refused care that doctors knew she needed because of the state’s abortion ban. Politicians need to get themselves out of the hospital room and we need to end this awful patchwork of policies.

This afternoon, the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social heard from experts about the trauma being inflicted on women by ICE and CBP.   Denial of basic medical care, sexual assaults, violence against pregnant women – abuse being carried out with our tax dollars. It's sickening.

America has survived bad policies before. What it can't survive is undermining the Constitution, the rules, and the institutions that hold democracy together. That's the real danger, and that's why defending liberal democracy comes before any policy disagreements.
